OK, my buddy gave me these rims a few months ago. I knocked the center caps out (which of course had the name on them) and cant find them. I want to get a new set of center caps, so I need to know who the manufacturer is. I know they are common, but I didn't see them at the Pep Boys I was at the day before yesterday.

When I used to work at the tire shop in the early 90's I remember seeing them all the time, first thing that comes to mind is American racing. but its only a slightly educated guess

DUDE... the 90s called, they want their wheels back!..

I agree American Racing. I would measure the hole and find any center cap that will fit, not really worth anymore with OE caps.

They are American Racing. My buddy just got a set of these in six lug for his Yota from the junkyard with 32s on them. I believe it said American Racing on the backside of the rim. It also may say "AR" in the model number on the backside of the rim.

They are totally 90s, but hey so is my truck. Thank you all. Im not looking for them to be "worth" more, just cover up the hole in the middle so as to block some of the crap from getting in, and well, from just having a gaping hole in the middle of the rim.

Almost any cap that matches the hole diameter will work...
